Someone told me that a lawnmower blenny does not go well together with any goby. Is this true? Does anyone have any experience with it?

I've heard that too. Apparently they look too similar?

I only bought the blenny. And I think I understand why it can be a problem with those two together. The blenny is a bossy little fish! I used to think that puffers were the coolest fishes, but I am not so sure anymore. The lawnmover blenny is just so cool! I bought one on Saturday, and I have loved him the few days I've owned him. Hopefully he will contiune to take dry food here in my tank. He did in the shop (they actually showed me). So far he has enough algae to munch on. Actually he has already a big belly after all the algae he has eaten. He munches algae almost violently all over my tank! :lol:

BTW, some people around here call the lawnmower blenny Homer Simpson, and now I understand why. They have exactly the same face!
